The July Power Weekend is just around the corner

July 5, 2019July 8, 2019 | Playground

July is already scorching and is about to get even hotter with a Power Weekend. From July 18 to July 22, Playground will host a mini-series composed of 6 events, including 2 multi-day events: the Playground 100 and the Playground 500. Our flagship event, when offered in two versions with two different price points, presents an opportunity for more players to play a multi-day event that is closer to their preferred buy-in.

The $100 + $10 Playground 100 offers a guaranteed prize pool of $50,000 and provides players with lots of options to enter, thanks to an online Day 1 and five live starting flights. The $500 + $50 Playground 500 raises the stakes with a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000. Players can enter the Playground 500 through an online Day 1 or any of the three live starting flights.

The July Power Weekend is also your very first chance to qualify for the WSOP-C Playground Main Event through a live satellite. The tournament starts at 8:00PM on Sunday night and guarantees 15 Seats to the $2,000,000 guaranteed event in August! Don’t miss your chance to qualify early!

And if you’re looking for a single-day event with a nice guarantee, we have that too! 6-Max and 8-Max action will be displayed, along with a deepstack event.

Escape the heat of July and join us in our perfectly cooled rooms for some great poker competition… and maybe even catch a cash game session while you’re at it! By the time the July Power Weekend starts, our new Sizzling Summer cash game promotions will be in effect. Click the links for all the info!
